Vancouver's Olympic countdown clock is back in tick tock shape after almost a week on the fritz.

The organizing committee says the digital clock has now resumed counting down the days until the 2010 Games.

In the heart of the city's downtown, the clock has been the subject of vandalism several times in the past, but this time it appears a faulty piece of equipment was to blame.

The replacement part took a few days to arrive but workers managed to make the repairs in a matter of hours.
